About CD-R and CD-RW discs

The DP-01FX/CD can use CD-R and CD-RW
media, including CD-R and CD-RW Digital
Audio media.
CDR discs can be recorded once only. Once they
have been used for recording, they cannot be erased
or rerecorded. However, if space is available on the
disc, additional material can be recorded. The pack
aging of CDR discs will include one of the follow
ing logos:
By contrast, a CDRW disc can be used in much the
same way as a CDR disc, but the last track or tracks
recorded can be erased before the disc has been
“finalized”, and the space on the disc can be re
used for other recordings. The packaging of CD
RW discs will include the logo one of the following
logos:
However, you should note that an audio CD created
using a CDRW disc may not play back satisfacto
rily on every audio CD player. It will, naturally, be
playable on the DP01FX/CD. This is in no way a
limitation of the DP01FX/CD itself, but of the dif
ference between the different types of media and the
methods used to read them.
CDR discs created on the DP01FX/CD, by con
trast, may be played satisfactorily on the majority of
audio CD players.

Handling of compact discs

Observe the following:
• Always place the compact discs in the trays with
their label facing upward (compact discs can only
be played on one side).
• To remove a disc from its storage case, press
down on the center of the case, and lift the disc
out, holding it carefully by the edges.
• Finger marks and dust should be carefully wiped
off the disc’s recorded surface with a soft cloth.
Unlike traditional vinyl records, the compact disc
has no grooves to collect dust and microscopic
debris, so gently wiping with a soft cloth should
remove most particles.
• Wipe in a straight motion from the inside to the
outside of the disc. Small dust particles and light
stains will have absolutely no effect on reproduc
tion quality.
• Never use such chemicals as record sprays, anti
static sprays or fluid, benzine or thinner to clean
compact discs. Such chemicals will do irreparable
damage to the disc’s plastic surface.
• Discs should be returned to their cases after use to
avoid serious scratches that could cause the laser
pickup to “skip”.
• Don’t expose discs to direct sunlight or high
humidity and temperature for extended periods.
Long exposure to high temperature can warp the
disc.
• Only use circular compact discs. Avoid using non
circular promotional, etc. discs.
• To keep the laser pickups clean, don’t touch them.
For the same reason, don’t leave the disc tray
opened unnecessarily.
